This is not exactly a bit-size issue.

We removed the individual subscriptions to various known blogs, because that 
caused the image to run into 
various recurring issues in TopFeeder: problems with HTTPSocket, HTTP 
redirects, DNS lookup failures, 
encoding issues with blogs, format issues with blogs, xml errors in blogs, 
cache invalidation problem, 
deadlocks with cache, parsing dates in blog entries, etc.

Today the newsfeed is aggregated by a Google Query that moves the burden of 
normalizing all data to 
Google. Never had issues anymore since this change. If there was such an 
aggregation service where you 
could hardcode the URL that would be a possible solution.

You could use Yahoo Pipes...

Or you could put the problematic feeds through feedburner and subscribe to 
those.

Should be better now, I've update the query. We might need to do that more 
regularly.
